#1 Guessing that Wendy didn't grow up in a place that's windy? #10 Story from the early days of aviation. Guy flew to a place he knew well, that happened to be covered in fog. He tried a low pass at the top of the fog, to see if he could recognize any landmark. Turning around, he saw a hole in the fog his plane had made, so he kept going back and forth while decreasing altitude. He eventually was able to see ground level, now knew where the runway was, and landed.
I did that in reverse once. I was flying my Supercub on skis on a very calm, severe clear day in the mountains northeast of Seward, Alaska at about -25 F and I flew over a frozen lake in a long skinny valley at about 50 feet above the snow to see if it was suitable for landing. When I climbed out to fly my downwind leg, I saw that the whole valley, which had been totally clear, was now full of fog. I realized that the "fog" was actually my exhaust and I circled for about 10 minutes while the fog cleared and made another pass at 5 feet to take a closer look at the snow. I then climbed out and circled for another 10 minutes and finally came in for a landing in the powder snow. That was a memorable day and landing.
#9 ... We have a total of four hummingbird feeders spread out on our porches, each one having six feeder ports and each holding a quart of nectar. The silly birds spend more time and energy defending territory and trying to chase one another off than they do feeding. Nasty little brutes.
#4 Wait until they're 70 lbs each and still want him to do it. #8 In Apache Junction, AZ, I'd occasionally hear a cat make that outraged, I'm Pissed, hiss. Followed by a truncated panic hiss. AJ has lots of coyotes and they think cats are tasty.
#3 I remember that warning, It was never in jest #5 Nice, but never found one of those #8 That cat has got the moves, but i think he will meet his maker in a much larger version
#7. Open the window, smack the little bastard with a tennis racket out the window. Remember, monkeys apparently have a nasty form of herpes so don't get bitten or scratched

It's funny that hummingbirds can be so nasty and aggressive when fighting other hummingbirds yet a praying mantis can kill some of the smaller ones.
DeleteOur feeder has a swarm of bees around it feeding.
DeleteHumming birds can be little assholes. Very territorial at feeders.

ReplyDelete#7 probably an illegal pet. Someone needs to call "mice"
ReplyDeleteThose videos that show the cat running the bear or gator off are cool, not so cool are the ones where the critter calls the cats bluff.
